October, at last. Random thoughts:
• Foot pain back, and it appears to be my old friend, gout. Laid up again. Yay.
• Numbers on yesterday's Gravedigger comic update were unusually low. Disappointing - and, given my state of mind today, discouraging. Need to find new (free) ways to drum up traffic. Facebook & Twitter and this blog aren't doing the job.
• Was hoping to get back to regular/semi-regular posting at DVD Late Show and Space: 1970 this month - depends on whether I can get the comics work on my plate and design gig that's supposed to show up soon out of the way.
It doesn't help that new Maine state tax laws going into effect today have shut down the only income I earned from those blogs, via the Amazon affiliate program. It wasn't much, but it was an additional incentive to keep putting in the work those sites require.
• News is just too depressing today. Will try to avoid it.
• Been watching a lot more current TV than usual lately. For the record, I thought the last four episodes of Breaking Bad were terrific, I liked the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and think a lot of people were way too critical of it, and thought the pilot of Sleepy Hollow was goofy fun. Plan to follow S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hollow for a few weeks, at least.
• As far as October movies, I'm really looking forward to Machete Kills! despite the presence of Mel Gibson. Interested in Gravity, as well, despite presence of Sandra Bullock.
• I could really use a bowl of Count Chocula... hope I can make it to Target soon to stock up.

I've been following Hollow and SHIELD as well. Funny enough, while Hollow is incredibly over the top and just plain ridiculous, I somehow find it easier to watch than SHIELD, which feels, to me, almost as if they are trying too hard. As if the same snarky, hip humor that worked so well in The Avengers and other Joss Whedon projects is just a little too forced here. I suppose only time will tell.
